Horrible Death of a Fireman and
a Brakeman on the Reading.

A coal and freight train came into col
lision on the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad at Mintzer's switch, two miles west
Of Tamaqua, at noon Saturday last. VIM.
Pruett, of Catawissa, brakeman, who
was riding on the engine, was killed He
was pinned fast on the seat in the engine
cab and scalded to death by escaping
steam. He lived about halt an hour in
this position. The engine had to be pried
apart with iron tars before his body could
be extricated. He was 81 years old and
unmarried. Charles McAfee, a fireman,
saw the coal train coming and tried to
jump, but one leg was caught between the
engine and the water tank aud pinched off
above the knee, dropping McAfee to the
embankment from whence he crawled fifty
feet. Amputation was performed, but it
is doubtful if he can live. Samuel Etting-
ham, the freight train engineer, was injured
internally, but it is thought not seriously.
The engineer on the coal train was unin-
jured, Both locomotives are completely
wrecked and fully twenty coal and freight
cars. The damage to railroad property is
estimated at $4,000 The cause of the
accident is laid to the dispatchers office at
Tamaqua, orders haYing been sent to hold
the coal train at East Mahanoy Junction
after il had passed that point and therefore
too late. An engine was sent out from
Tamaqua TO catch the freight train and
stop 1t, but that was too late also.

Mr.. B. +. Antrim, the well known Pitts

interest in the matter all along, and has
made personal and exhaustive examin-
alton Of the ground, and expresses himself
entirely convinced OF the existence of oil
in the vicinity. 1t is needless to say that
many eyes have been directed here since
the report went out, and letters have been
received by some of the citizens from men
Of means in the Bradford region asking for
particulars and opinions on the prospects.
There is no doubt that these parties will
soon be on to examine the ground for
themselves.

In his charge to the Grand Jury on Mon
Monday last Judge Dreher called particu-
lar attention to that part of the oath which
requires the Grand Jury to present matters
within their own knowledge; telling them
that, if any Grand Juror knew of violation
of law, he should communicate with his
fellows, and that, if after consultation, the
jury should think that crime had been
committed, and there was reasonable cause
to believe that a certain person had COM
the facts in their own language, together
with the names of any witnesses. He also
instructed the jury that the oath of secrecy
was binding beyond the time of the session
of the Grand Jury, extending to all time;
that juror was not to divulge what took
place before the Grand Jury, except by
presentment in open Court, or when re-
quired in judicial proceeding; that this
oath was as much for the protection of.the
jurors as for anything else, relieving the
juror from dread of what a criminal might
do by way of revenge if he knew that a
particular juror had informed against him.
On the subject of roads, the Court charged
| that they should be kept in such condition
that traveller, using reasonable care and
caution, could pass over them in safety;
| and that, if, through neglect of the super
visor, they were not in such repair, the
township would be responsible to the per-
jpinrpl. Gnhmittipu n tho inru ha ra
| turns of certain constables,i it was suggested
that, in view of the season of the year, it
might be well for the jury to direct the dis
trict attorney to notify the officers in fault
of their duty, and let the next grand jury
proceed against them by indictment, unless
the duty was promptly discharged. The
| too-common practice of encroaching upon
the limits of the highway when resetting
fence, was touched upon, and pronounced
"all wrong" 1t is the duty of the super
vlsors to see that the roads are kept open
to the lawful width, as laid out. Follow
ing is the list of roads returned as either too
narrow or out of repair:
Benton.-Bridge near Joseph Hess. A
bridge is part of the highway; it is the
duty of the supervisors to keep it in good
condition; proper railings should be put up
at every bridge The constable does not
say in what particular the bridge is out of
repair or defective, so that the Court is not
informed.
Franklin.-The road leading from the
| bridge near VIM. Rohrbach's to David
Reece's is too narrow. 1t should be kept
open to the full breadth
Roaringcreek.- road leading from
the M. E. Church TO c. B. Jackson's farm.
In what particular that road is out of re-
pair the constable does not say.
Hemlock Roads and bridges are re.
turned as per notice of B, f. Ewes, attached
hereto, and made part of this return. "You
are hereby notified that the public road,
leading from Millville to Boomsburg, so
| far as the same is made in Hemlock town
snip, is in a bad state of repair in the tol.
lowing places" and then there are eight or
nine specifications, under this general
charge, of defects in that road; it is not
necessary to read them, because you will
have them before you.
